People are messing with it, but I really like the idea. I put my real idea there. It's one I really like but I just don't have the time or expertise to execute it. I really hope someone "steals" it.

I started a `#shitty-server-suggestions` channel in one of the Discords I'm in and it's my favorite type of channel. Now we have the same thing online! I'm genuinely happy

Can you add markdown support? I already submitted one with markdown (username 'runvnc') .. also maybe deal with longer entries like only show the first 250 characters in the box and the rest in a tooltip/hover or when you click up to 1000 characters or something. And then when you click you see the full idea and their contact info.

Mine are dead. They're all dead. My ideas are useless.

Imagine if there were an app where you ideas could not die...

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die...

Also can you ban people who post actual trash like binary files.
